1988 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z review from North America

I have rebuilt the transmission twice.

I replaced one cooling fan, there are two electric fans.

I have replaced the ball joints.

I have to play around with the passenger window switch sometimes to operate the window.

I have replaced the alternator twice and emission sensors like O2 sensor and throttle positioning sensor.

The front brakes go fairly quickly. They last about 40,000 km with vigorous driving.

For handling and power this car is amazing, and I drive it all year round, even in the Canadian Winters. Just make sure the tires have enough tread and you know how to drive rear-wheel in the winter.

It's comfortable if you're young and can get in and out of low cars, older people complain about getting in and out.

The 5.7 litre engine does not come with the manual transmission option so the brakes go quicker in such a heavy car.

Even with the weight, it's amazingly nimble like a lighter car.

Still turns heads today in 2001.

I've raced today's Mustangs, and Camaro equivalents, and even my friend's 2000 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 and I beat him (one cannot miss-shift with an automatic).
